Episode 16: Lizzie Borden - Oaktober Fest Special Edition

Welcome to Oaktober Fest, our annual celebration of spooky season lasting the entire month of October!

Lizzie Borden took an ax… Or did she? In this special Oaktober Fest Episode we discuss what you may not have heard about the Lizzie Borden case. Was a Victorian era woman capable of murder? At the time, scientist didn’t think so. We have learned so much in the last 130 years about the evil lengths women can go to…. was Lizzie saved by her moment in time or an innocent victim wrongly accused?
